• Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place taquitos in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching, and mist with avocado oil. Cook in batches if necessary. Cook until golden brown and crispy, 6 to 9 minutes. Turn taquitos over, mist with avocado oil, and air fry for an additional 3 to 5 minutes.

Using tongs, remove the taquitos to a paper-towel lined plate to drain. Continue with the remaining taquitos. Serve alongside salsa and sour cream for dipping, if desired.

CHICKEN TAQUITOS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, cheese, green salsa, and onion. Spoon about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the mixture onto tortillas, or enough so that when rolled up, each one is about 1 inch wide. Filling should not come to close to the ends, or it will fall out. Secure rolls with toothpicks.
• Fry rolls 4 or 5 at a time so there is enough room between them for even cooking. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Once they float, I leave them in for about another minute. If the taquitos are not crisp when cool, you haven't cooked them long enough. Drain on paper towels. Serve with sour cream, salsa and guacamole for dipping.

Place tortilla on a paper towel lined cookie sheet fitting about 6-8 per sheet. Place another paper towel over the tortillas and repeat with the rest until all are cooked. Sprinkle Salt over the tortillas as you go.
• 3. Once all the tortillas have been lightly fried and are soft, take shredded chicken and place on center of tortilla in a line. Gently roll tight and place seam side down on another cookie sheet, each one snug to the other to keep shape. Repeat until all the taquitos are rolled.
• 4. Heat an electric skillet or griddle between 300-350 degrees and oil surface generously. Place one taquito seam side down, add another right up against it and continue until you have a row across the skillet and taquitos are secure.

Roll taquitos left to right and let them cook 1-2 minutes, then roll again until they are secure and golden.

BAKED CREAMY CHICKEN TAQUITOS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
• Heat cream cheese in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds so it's soft and easy to stir. Add green salsa, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, onion powder and granulated garlic. Stir to combine and then add cilantro and green onions. Add chicken and cheese and combine well.
• You can prepare up to this step ahead of time. Just keep the mixture in the fridge.
• The corn tortillas are harder to roll without cracking. For the corn tortillas: work with a few tortillas at a time and heat in the microwave until they are soft enough to roll without cracking. It helps to place them between damp paper towels. Usually 20-30 seconds will do it. If you find yours are cracking when you roll them or come unrolled right away, just try heating them longer and try the paper towel thing.
• Place 2-3 T of chicken mixture on the lower third of a tortilla, keeping it about 1/2 inch from the edges.
• Then roll it up as tight as you can.
• Place seam side down on the baking sheet. Lay all of the taquitos on the baking sheet and make sure they are not touching each other. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray or an oil mister and sprinkle some kosher salt on top.
• Place pan in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until crisp and the ends start to get golden brown. Makes around 16 taquitos.

CHICKEN TAQUITOS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, debone the chicken and shred the meat. Add the barbecue sauce, sour cream, chopped green chiles, corn, red onion, garlic, both cheeses, and spices. Toss well.
• In a large pan over moderate heat, warm 1/4 cup of oil until it sizzles. Meanwhile, put 2 tablespoons of the chicken filling into each tortilla, roll, and secure with a toothpick. Working in 4 batches (wipe the pan clean and add 1/4 cup fresh oil between batches), pan-fry until the tortillas are golden brown and the mixture is warm, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel, transfer to a platter (or serve 2 per plate), and serve with your favorite salsa and guacamole.

BEST EVER CHICKEN TAQUITOS

Steps:

• 1. First: Ya gotta cook the chicken, my advice? the quickest and easiest method to shred, is to boil it for approx. 20-30 minutes.
• 2. while you're waiting for the chicken to finish, ya might as well get the toppings ready!Dice up your onions to go in with the chicken mixture,slice up some tomatoes, make your guacamole, get your cheese cubes diced.
• 3. Okay, the chicken is done, shred it with a couple of forks or whatever method works best for you. Then add it to a pan with the onions and taco seasoning. Add some water, but don't go by the packet, you don't wanna water down the flavor. Heat it up till the seasoning is well mixed and the onions are sauteed.
• 4. Now, remove the pan from the heat, and in another pan add oil to the bottom, about a 1/2 inch from the bottom? Now here's where it gets tricky, I burnt myself the first couple times I did this just a warning, please be careful! I def suggest using tongs if you're nervous about burning yourself. Okay: so you're gonna take some of the chicken mixture and put it onto the edge of your tortilla. How much is entirely up to you, but don't overfill it, I usually use about a spoonful maybe a spoonful and 1/2 depending. Then you want to roll it from the filling side till it's rolled into a tube. Then you need to place it in the hot oil seam side down. Once it's browned on one side ( this doesn't take but maybe a min or two, less the hotter the oil gets) turn it over and cook the other side. You'll want to put as many as you can fit into your pan at a time, as this is time consuming, but I promise it's sooo worth it!!! ( P.S. you may have to add some oil in between as it tends to disappear as you cook! ;) Take out of the pan, and drain on a plate.
• 5. As you get closer to the taquitos being done, you'll want to get your cheese melting in the microwave! Mexi rice is a good side dish with this as well. Enjoy!!

BAKED CHICKEN TAQUITOS RECIPE
